Subject: Re: So I bought a car that can't be registered, need advice... by Josh on 2012/4/22 16:36:40 The car is a 95 Mustang GT. The VIN swap trick is a felony, I'm not willing to get a yard of prison cock shoved up my ass just to drive a 15 second Mustang, lol. I talked with the DMV about the car, and there is a process I can go through to get the car on the road. There are a few hurdles, but it looks like it can be done. There is no title for the car. In NC, if you are convicted of prearranged speed contest, your car is sold at public auction, and the proceeds go to the public school system. However, the car must be returned to stock if it is modified. In the event that the modifications are so extreme that returning the car to OE isn't practicable, the car is re-titled as 'Junk'. Once the title is tagged as junk, the car can never be titled or tagged again. To register the car, the first step is to get the 'junk' tag off the title. There is a DMV inspector that can inspect the car, and if they deem the car roadworthy they have the power to remove the 'junk' tag. Once that's done, I can buy an indemnity bond and transfer the title to my name. Last, I can register the car. As long as the DMV inspector is willing to play ball, and the old owner of the car doesn't pop up and claim that I stole his car or something - it looks like I can get the car legal again. |
